Dataminers have also discovered evidence of a new Quest feature that will transform the way fans play.

According to The Silph Road, Niantic will release a new multi-quest system, complete with a greater emphasis on supporting characters.

"We're looking at the beginnings of an in-game quest system that appears to encapsulate all of the mechanics available in Pokemon GO, even incorporates characters who grant them, and pre-conditions that suggest increasing levels of difficulty and progress," the post reads.
